Since George Lucas sold the rights to "Star Wars" to Disney, we have learned that there will be three films, and that the first one will be directed by "Star Trek" and "Lost" mastermind JJ Abrams. Now, it has been revealed that there will be more to the new "Star Wars" universe than just a continuation of the series.

According to an announcement by Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger on the official Star Wars website, LucasFilm "are in development of a few standalone films that are not part of the 'Star Wars' saga."

He added that "there are now creative entities working on developing scripts for what would be those standalone films." Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote "The Empire Strikes Back," "Return of the Jedi" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will write one, as will "Sherlock Holmes" writer Simon Kinberg. Apparently, "each standalone film will focus on a specific character." Do you think that Disney is going too far with the "Star Wars" license?

The original trilogy wasn't THAT great, except Empire. The prequels were darker--there was no good guy bad guy vibe...you didn't really know clearly who to side with. Plus the emotional intensity of the last two films of the prequels made them technically better IMO. People just love to hate the prequels because its "in" and because of Jar Jar, who is barely used after Episode 1

I'm a purist, I only really like the first three Star Wars films that came out in 1976-1983, for one reason, Lucas did a better job producing those films and the second reason, Harrison Ford made them all the better!

I want to hope for the best and say "No", but having seen Disney's track record, I'm very afraid they'll milk it way beyond all levels of decency. I was so, so, so grateful that J.K. Rowling turned down Disney when they tried to get the film rights to her Harry Potter series. She has said in interviews that EVERY studio approached her for film rights, and every one of them except Warner Bros. wanted to change or add stuff, like Americanizing the characters, adding cheerleaders to Quidditch matches,and consolidating books. I wonder what Disney wanted to do to the Harry Potter series? My family has always imagined they would've made it mandatory for the writers to add in 1 or 2 balls jokes per movie, with either Hagrid or Snape being the butt of the jokes, as a running gag. Going back to Star Wars, you'll know Disney is pushing things if they start using crass balls jokes on Boba Fett, etc, or you need a scorecard to keep track of all the sequels.

EverYOne and his brotHEr has seen ,fell in lOve with it ,bought the TOYs for it , played starters cOMe on now the generation that it was MAde for has now tiRed of it. ,"didn't mean we. Don't like it buUTn I SAY NO DON'T STOP DISNEY LETS SEE WHAT YOU GOT. THEY DO OUT FOR EVERY OTHER MOVIE. I CANT WAIT,......... gotta. Go. Star , Wars is.COMMng on ....... ....PEACE OUT ...to infinity and beyond.................

One would expect Disney to try to make some money off the franchise. After all, they paid lots of $$$ for it. Personally i welcome spinoffs or movies made within the StarWars universe.It shows there's more there than just the Skywalkers. Sure would be an awful waste of a universe if the Skywalkers were the only people of interest.

Star Wars Is Bomb! They should totally make another movie! Why would they b going too far! STAR WARS IS THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!! I may b a girl, but Im allowed to like Star Wars. My fav movie is 'Empire Strikes Back'. It's AWESOME!

This really needs an undecided option since we all have yet to see what Disney does with the Star Wars franchise. Personally, I'm holding my breathe hoping like hell they don't ruin it completely which is rather what I am expecting to be more likely than actually coming out with anything faithful to the original films in terms of quality. Time will tell.
